Trying to hot-clone VM with multiple snapshots

I have a virtual machine with two snapshots.  I need to make a clone of this virtual machine, and I want to clone the current state-based, not off a previous snapshot or the basic disk.

When I try to clone, compatility validation is to give the warning "returning to snapshot may generate error (warnings) on the destination host."

I'm curious to know what, if anything, will break if I continue with the clone?  I would like once again, the VM cloned to be based on the latest state of the virtual machine, not on a snapshot or the basic disk?  I thought that was possible?

Thank you!

The reason for the error is that when you clone to another ESX host a snapshot (especially if it includes memory) may not work on the new host because it is based on the current hardware that is running the virtual machine (at the time the snapshot is taken) maybe not on that get back you to the snapshot on. Also all the files that make up the snapshot are not available on the destination virtual machine.

The best way is to simply validate snapshots and then do it. If this is not possible just clone and it will be based on the virtual machine running and you will have no problem.

  • RV220W - rules of access/redirection of port with multiple WAN IP addresses

    I just installed a Cisco RV220W - that works very well for outbound traffic, however for incoming it seems unable to work with multiple WAN IP addresses.

    We have a block of 6 WAN IPs assigned to us by our ISP, and I want to use each of them to expose certain ports on our servers to the outside world.

    I tried to do with rules (by using HTTP, for example) with the following parameters:

    Connection type: Inbound (WAN (Internet) > LAN (local area network))

    Action: Always leave

    Service: HTTP

    Source IP: Unique address

    Start:

    Send to the Server Local (DNAT IP):

    Use other WAN (Internet) IP address: disabled

    Status: Activated

    However, the port of the inaccessible Server/rest.

    I tried:

    • Restart the server with power power off again
    • implement the same port forwarding settings
    • triple-checking all the IP addresses used

    The only way that I have working is by changing the access rule so that it applies to any specific source rather than to another address... but this isn't a solution for us because we need to use specific IP addresses to the internal servers/ports specific.

    The interface of the router admin certainly suggests that this should be possible, but using it seems to break all incoming access!

    Any suggestion is welcome.

    You must use "ANY" as the source IP address, you publish your internal server to the internet and the internet means that the request comes from any source IP address (you don't know what it is, so that's all.

    Basically, you want any source IP to hit one of your WAN IP on port 80, and then your firewall will redirect the request to the internal private IP address of the server on the same port 80. And when the answer comes back internal server, the firewall will already have this translate entry in and reverse NAT won't happen (you must configure it, the default firewall function).

    I hope that I have answered your question.

    Please mark as correct, if you like the answer.

  • Single unit with multiple clusters CCM

    I know that this horse has been beaten to death, but I couldn't find a specific answer to my question.

    I understand with multiple clusters, each CCM to the unit calls go on Ports configured as such in each cluster. I also understand that MWI notification is sent by the highest numbered track and he's working his way down until it is successful. What I don't understand, is how to transfer out of the unit for the expansion of the Subscriber. How do I know what CCM Cluster to send the call to unity? He sends it on the main cluster and this group is responsible for the routing of the call on an inter-cluster trunk? Or should he behave as MWI where he tries to send calls from the highest numbered port until it is able to place the call?

    All calls from the unit (transfer and the identical outdials notification message) are only made on a port, the call is not retried on other ports like MWIs.

    The difference is that for communications, the unit will use the last available on the last group port. If you need to have put ICT in place correctly so the call can get routed to the correct phone on another cluster.

    For transfers, the unit will initiate the transfer using the same port that the call is entered in the. So if the transfer is supposed to go to a phone on a different cluster, yet once you have your ICT implemented between clusters so that the unit can transfer a call from one group to the other.

    In both cases, the unit simply connect, he does not know if the phone is in the same cluster or another cluster. So you must make sure that the dial string that uses the unit, as well as models of dial in CCM, download the call routed correctly through the TIC.

  • Problem with: Clone, windows with a single NETWORK adapter

    Hello

    If I remember correctly, that's your administrator password local if it has been defined or the new password set if the model is no password defined. But then I did years ago doublecheck Yes.

  • Transactions with IsolationLevel snapshot cannot be promoted. (VCAC5.2 + VCD5.1)

    Hi all

    I am using VCAC + VCD to deploy VAPP.

    I created VAPP and component VAPP. but when I submit my request that I got this error:

    • Error the applicant unit. Transactions with IsolationLevel snapshot cannot be promoted.

    someone you encounter this before?

    very appreciated for your reply, thank you

    I heard that maybe it's a bug in the installer to point 5.2.  There is a configuration where the deposit app.config file can use a connection string to the database while an individual model uses a different.  It is required by SQL Snapshot isolation not use DTC and thus multiple connections with different channels causes this error.

    It is a requirement that the templates that are installed matches the repository web application configuration in the web.config file.  This should be validated at run time, but it seems that our Installer does not validate this...  I suspect that this happens when the web model manager is installed with sql different information identification and then the Manager of model data.

    Check the Repository.Website\web.config on the Model vCAC Manager server/s to the path \Program files 9 x 86) \VMware\vCAC\Server\Model Manager Web\ for the parameter below...

    Make sure the server, database and the authentication setting that corresponds in the table below (case is important here too)...

    SELECT *.

    FROM [DynamicOps.RepositoryModel]. [Models]

    Data Source = localhost; Initial Catalog = vCAC; Integrated Security = True; MultipleActiveResultSets = True

    If they do not match, probably easier to manually change both to use iis authentication and restart windows, and check if the problem persists.  If this resolves the issue and you want a different configuration, laugh with the settings further and confirm the fact that it always works.

  • The Clones related with 2 cards Ip address irregularities - network


    Hello world

    I have a headache to 5.2 view that I need help.

    I build linked clones, virtual machines need to have 2 network cards, 1 on the web and one for residents. I use a customization profile Windows based in vcenter. They go on the field and I set the network to custom settings and then put 2 NICs in DHCP. When I put in service 1 clone it worked, it was on the field, web access and internal ping etc etc. However, I have configured and then another, and I can not connect via RDP and PCoIP. Black screen times out after 10-20 seconds. If I understand correctly this is normally a network problem (normally only about PCOIP rather than RDP, I thought)?

    In any case, I put in service further and it seems (not to the letter) any other the world doesn't want to connect.

    When we look at in connection and vcenter, the only difference I see between the 2 types of vm that tab summary in vcenter, ones that work see the IP address of the card web access and those who do not work, shows the internal IP address. When you click Show all, ips are listed. It's confusing to me!

    When I reset the virtual machine (in vcenter) that allows me to log on to the console and it seems well, once I try to connect to pcoip it fails with the black screen and then I is even more ctrl alt del in the console of the vi client. It does not show that it has received a user either.

    Curiously, I rebooted one that did not work about 4 times and it seemed suddenly to the nic address and I can now connect with pcoip.

    Finally, addressing our network guys, he says that the PCoIP ports are open on the internal network, I can confirm this because it everything works fine in full mode with 1 NIC on the inside.

    Any help would be massively appreciated. Let me know if you need more information.

    Concerning

    David

    The agent will attempt to retrieve an IP address and report it to the connection to the server. Depending on how Windows presents the order of the list, he may decide to use the bad. For multiple network cards, you should follow the link below to configure the subnet mask and to ensure the right, it is always selected: Configure a Virtual Machine with multiple network cards to see Agent

  • Take a multiple snapshot of different VM´s

    Hello

    Anyone got a script to take different VM´s. example multiple snapshots when you windows patch id like to snapshot slected vm´s before applying the patch.

    Concerning

    Christer S

    Hi Chrsun02,

    "is it a medium esay to ad a function report to the commnad.

    Please tell more that you want to report on

    "im"wishing to' an easy way to get rid of stereotypes when I know that servers is ok. "

    Right, so before patching, you created snapshots for some virtual machines, and gave you the name of the snapshot for this purpose.

    for example

    Get - vm testgk | New-cliché - memory: $false - suspend: $false-name "testsnapshot001" - Description "my snapshot test patch before.

    on my vm testgk, I created the new snapshot with the name "testsnapshot001" for this pupose

    now I want to remove it

    Get - vm testgk | Get-Snapshot? {$_. Name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Remove-Snapshot

    So I have vm testgk query, ask this virtual machine snapshots that have name testsnapshot001, and then delete the snapshot.

    If you have created snpahosts for more virtual machines give their name separated by a ",".

    Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot? {$_. Name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Remove-Snapshot

    If you're sure you didn't any what other snapshots you can omit this part?: {$_. Name - eq "testsnapshot001"}

    so in the end, you would write:

    Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot | Remove-Snapshot

    If you don't want to answer the question confirmation add - confirm: $true

    Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot | Remove-Snapshot - confirm: $true

    If you want to specify vms not with names but with location:

    Get-cluster "my_cluster01" | get - vm | Get-Snapshot | Remove-Snapshot - confirm: $true

    If you want to get a report for snapshots:

    Get - vm | Get-Snapshot? {$_.name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Select the name of name,@{N='VM'; {E = {$_.vm}}, @{N = "CreatedOn"; E={$_. Created}}

    So it will go through all of the virtual machines, instant advertising with the name: testsnapshot001 and display its name, date, name of the virtual machine

    Get - vm | Get-Snapshot? {$_.name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Select the name of name,@{N='VM'; {E = {$_.vm}}, @{N = "CreatedOn"; E={$_. Created}}

    VM name CreatedOn name
    ----                                         -------                                 ---------
    testsnapshot001 testgk 21/08/2012 14:09:47

    And even once on the line will interview all machines virtual registerd in vc. If you want to check only for some more specific:

    Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot? {$_.name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Select the name of name,@{N='VM'; {E = {$_.vm}}, @{N = "CreatedOn"; E={$_. Created}}

    or

    Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot | Select the name of name,@{N='VM'; {E = {$_.vm}}, @{N = "CreatedOn"; E={$_. Created}}

    to query all snapshots there and not only those that have been made for the purposes of the application of patches

    OR!

    a dirty, quick control for VMS with snapshots in general:

    Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine-filter @{"snapshot" = ""} | Select name

    I would like to know if it works for you.

    Kind regards

  • Photos of virtual machines with multiple disks on different LUNS - Question

    I have some questions on how to manage the snapshots of virtual machines with multiple disks on different LUNS.  First of all, the LUNS are VMFS.  We are just starting to add virtual machines with dedicated for data storage format VMFS LUNS.  I don't think an extra space must be made for snapshots, as well as at least 100 GB LUN is required to store the data, and then say, add about 25 to 50% of this amount?  Set the 100 GB vmdk file but have the GB from 25 to 50 additional disk space for snapshots, if necessary (rather than just to get a unit number logic needed 100 GB of data and devote all of the 100 GB to the vmdk file).  In addition, if a virtual machine has several files vmdk on different LUNS, which will be a problem to take a snapshot, and is it possible to do just a snapshot of a disk of a virtual computer (as the volume of the BONE)?

    Thanks for any help.

    Snapshot files are created in the home folder of the VM by default for all virtual disks, no matter on what data store they are. You must make sure you have enough free disk space on the data store for snapshots.

    If you want to exclude a virtual disks of taking snapshots, you can set it to 'Independent' - 'Persistent' machine virtual settings to the HARD drive.

  • Frame content with multiple lines of text

    Hello

    In Indesign CS5 (Mac) is possible to get the same behavior as 'To adapt to the content Frame' pieces on a single line of text, to work with multiple lines?

    In other words, to adapt the framework to the height AND width of the text.

    We have black text and the text block has a fill and a stroke. What we are trying to achieve is to be able to quickly and accurately, resize it framework for however many lines it takes place in. By using the default behavior, so that we can use "mount the frame to the content" to get the height, but we need to manually drag the width.

  • To create a ToolTip text for the image with multiple image map links

    Hello

    RH6 using, that I imported a picture into a topic. For the images that I have created several maps image to post a link to other topics. However, I can't create a map image additional to that same image that includes only the screen Tip text. I get a message of invalid value: "Please select a file, bookmark or topic to bind the hyperlink to.»

    Is there a way to create a popup only the text of an image with multiple image map links? My final output will be to WebHelp but possibly migrate FlashHelp in the near future.

    Thank you

    Thank you
    FMnRH

    If the image is at the beginning of the subject, or all alone in a reference topic, you can put "#" (without the quotes) as the link for each area reactive.

    If the image is larger than the viewing window, it can jump to the top, but only if the user clicks on the link.

    I tried wz_tooltips and like it. I agree with Leon, it will take time for the first image but maybe go faster later.
